Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of the Middle Ages

The period of time of which this book treats is that lying between the greatest splendor of the Roman Empire and the beginning of what may properly be called the Middle Ages. It is a period which has often been passed over lightly by historians or dismissed with a sneer as the Dark Ages of the world. And this was done in spite of the fact that perhaps the greatest historian, all things considered, who has ever written in the English language, chose just this period for his theme. It is not improbable that the very title of Gibbon's great work may have done its part toward creating a false impres sion of the time he describes. If one comes to our period as a time of Decline and Fall merely, one can hardly fail to carry away from the study of it a depressing sense of gloom and wretchedness. Gibbon himself, great his torian as he was, did not succeed in avoiding this danger. His splendid narrative is on the whole a mournful one. We feel ourselves to be dealing with the wild movements of men, either half brutal or wholly brutalized. We see a magnificent edifice crumbling to decay, but we are not impressed with the elements of life contained in this very process.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating period between the peak of the Roman Empire and the dawn of the Middle Ages, often misconstrued as the "Dark Ages." Challenging this misconception, the author sheds light on the transformative forces that shaped a new era. The narrative centers on three key elements: the rise of the organized Christian Church, particularly under the Roman papacy; the influx of Germanic tribes into Roman territories, adopting Roman customs while establishing their own rule; and the dominance of the Frankish people among the Germanic tribes. These intertwined threads culminate in the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, a pivotal moment in European history. With a focus on the constructive aspects of this period, the author explores the dynamic interplay between decaying Roman institutions and emerging Germanic influences. The book highlights the gradual fusion of cultures, languages, and religions, revealing the seeds of a new civilization. By tracing the origins and development of these transformative forces, this book offers a fresh perspective on a complex and often misunderstood era, demonstrating how the so-called "Dark Ages" laid the groundwork for the vibrant tapestry of medieval Europe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330857724_0
